An Egyptian pharaoh destroys Gezer and legit gives it to Solomon as a wedding gift for his daughter
Pharaoh Siamun (~978-959 BCE) launched a rare military campaign into Canaan and torched the city of Gezer. Then in the most unhinged diplomatic flex ever, he gave the burned city to Solomon as a dowry when Solomon married his daughter. Archaeological destruction layers at Gezer line up perfectly with this timeline.
